I've tried many sites and none of them have worked thus far.
When I plug my Wacom Bamboo Splash Pen (CTL-471), the tablet lights up and it responses to the pen, but nothing is working. No response from my computer when I move the pen over the active area. How can I get it to work?

I'm using the Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 with the version 2.6.32-46-generic kernel.
When I type in lsusb, it shows up as " Bus 004 Device 006: ID 056a:00dd Wacom Co., Ltd ".

Everything worked until I entered sudo apt-get update. The terminal starts spitting out lines until it reaches an error:

Then I tried to go to Software Sources and add the APT line ppa:lekensteyn/wacom-tablet and nothing happened. The window for adding the APT closes and I'm left staring at the SOftware Sources window. I tried restarting and nothing changed.

This has to do with 10.04 LTS becoming an EOL release on May 9th, since the recent release of 13.04. Since the packages and everything were moved (/will be? I'm not exactly sure when this happens) to an archive, away from the normal server your terminal is trying to contact, the normal methods of updating/installing don't work.
